Didn’t that literally just happen?
This has »“We haven’t seen each other since last year” in the first week of January« vibes.
It’s probably purposeful obscurity, a marketing move for gold and jewelry.
Other alloys are described as ratios of elements.
At least I am starting to see carat fall out of use as a unit of weight, maybe from diamond manufacturing slowly making diamonds more of a commodity product.
It’ll probably take until we stop obsessing over gold before we can get rid of karat.
